The first Camellia bud that’s come into bloom 🌷

Live footage of the Big Air at the Winter Olympics.

Interested in peoples thoughts on this.
The Winter Olympics.
It’s nice TV for the duration it’s on. And the athletes are gutsy and strong.
However, the variations in country representation is quite telling. Especially amongst those that have snow covered mountains for the duration of their winters.

We were thankful to see our friends, Jane and Andrew, on BBC Songs of Praise recently sharing about their experiences as they’ve opened their home to countless people who have sought safety over the years 🧡

Great that you popped in. It’s been years since I did an A-Level alongside some Sidney Stringer students. Special memories.

Today, I am thinking of the countless victims of Epstein’s vile abuse.

The files are an appalling reminder of a rotten political system that shields the rich & powerful from accountability.

We need to build a new kind of politics — one that protects the safety & dignity of all.

Proud to stand among the 100,000 who marched through London today at the 34th national demonstration for Palestine.

We will keep marching, boycotting and mobilising until the genocide ends, the occupation is dismantled and every inch of Palestine is free - from the river to the sea 🇵🇸

Your water bills are going up, again.

Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed.

It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!

A photo of "The Shoes on the Danube Promenade" with the words "Today is Holocaust Memorial Day."

We must ensure the shoes on the Danube remain a warning to the living, not a relic of lessons ignored.

"The Shoes on the Danube Promenade" is a memorial of 60 cast-iron shoes along the river’s bank in Budapest. It honours the thousands of Jewish people who, in the winter of 1944-1945, were shot on the banks of the Danube by members of the Arrow Cross Party – who collaborated with the Nazis.

The crisis of everything demands everyone.

We're driving the ideas and power in civil society needed to create a hopeful and transformative vision for the country - to beat not just Reform, but the causes of Reform.

Quick reminder that the men who were sent to live in disused army camps at Crowborough amid local protests this week could have been given safe homes in ordinary communities - at over 5x less cost to the taxpayer.

This cruelty is costing us all.
